Royal Canin Veterinary Diet Renal Support A Dry Cat Food

The vet said that cats tended not to like RF foods, so I read a lot of reviews and decided on A. I’m not gonna lie, it has a really strong smell (or Aroma) and I was holding my breath when I mixed a little in with his regular food. I was so excited when he dug in, and now it seems like he eats the Royal Canin and leaves his old food in the bowl. I’m so relieved, and feel like I’m doing the best I can do to help my 15 year old ginger cat Malcolm. Fingers crossed that his checkup 2 months from now will be good news, because I left there crying when I found out that he had it. He had his blood tested one year ago and he was ok., so this was a shocker. Customer service was great too.

We have had several kitties in our family and more than one has succumbed to kidney failure. We are dealing with it right now with one of our angels. We try to get as much wet food in him as we can, but he's terribly finicky and we don't want to just leave gobs of wet food out just in case because it gets gross. So, we like to keep some dry, renal diet food out and at regular intervals offer wet. This is the ONLY renal dry food he has agreed to eat. He seems EAGER to eat it! And, his siblings - I use that word loosely - also seem to like it. It seems almost impossible to me to feed each cat a different diet, so unless really pressed, I don't try.

My cat likes this Royal Canin kidney kibble, as well as the "F" type. He does NOT like Hill's kidney food at all, but loves the RC brand....I know there is a lot of controversy regarding feeding dry food to kidney disease cats, but my cat is a dry food addict. He will only eat a little bit of wet food each day, and would go on a hunger strike without his precious kibble. Thank you Chewy and Royal Canin!

My owners finally got the royal canin E canned food which I liked but then she picked up the A dry cat food and now that is my favorite. This beats the canned by a long shot although she still gives me both I eat much more of the A dry. She makes about 8 patties out of the can, freezes them on a tray and then puts them in baggies. Then she can easily thaw out a patty anytime I want it. Owners out there should try the E canned and the A dry if you haven't yet. It's really changed my life. I have an appetite now.

My cat has been on Royal Canin Renal Support A, F, & S dry foods for years. He loves all 3 formulas, which is great because he refused to eat any of the canned renal support foods - of any brand! So this has been a life saver - literally! His renal disease has progressed very slowly, which is a tribute, at least in part, to this food!

In error I bought the dry vet prescribed renal support cat food by Royal Canin. I called to return it. Customer service said they would refund (got the refund the next day). They said to donate the dry to an animal shelter. What a special love of animals Chewy’s has. I took it straight over to Austin Pets Alive.

I opened the bag and put some food in the bowl, and within 5 minutes 2 of my cats had already started eating. This must really smell great, as it attracted such attention. One of my cats even skipped the bowl of canned food to eat this. It is hard to get my cats with kidney issues to eat, but this Royal Canin version is very popular!

My cats weren't crazy about it. Only ate 1/3 of what they usually eat. I'll be be glad when you are able to restock Type S. My vet finally got a bag & called me. They ate like they'd been starving, they were. This was not chewy's fault, royal canin had the production problems

My 11yr old male cat, Max, was recently diagnosed with renal failure. I had been noticing an increase in his drinking, decreased appetite, and lethargy over the last few months. I took him to the vet and his creatinine level was 9.7. (Should be no more than 2.4). Five days at the vets on fluids and antibiotics they got the number down to five, so I brought him home, not knowing what to expect as they weren’t sure of the outcome. Max hates wet food, he always has. He begrudgingly ate the purina veterinary rx dry food advanced care but literally no more than an 1/8 cup per day. I tried the wet and once again a big no. I knew I would lose him quickly if he didn’t eat as his weight has already gone My 11yr old male cat, Max, was recently diagnosed with renal failure.

I knew I would lose him quickly if he didn’t eat as his weight has already gone down 25 percent. I did research on royal canin A rx dry food and ordered this from chewy! Max loved it! A week later, he still loves it. Is this the ideal food, I’m not sure. I love this little boy and if I get to keep him for a few more months I will be thrilled. I also give him a 1/4 of a jar of chicken baby food for his meds. Odd he eats this and not wet food but it’s not ideal for him. Right now he is happy and drinks plenty of water throughout the day! Thank you chewy and royal canin! Praying his levels go down at the next visit but if I do lose him, at least his days left will be somewhat enjoyable. … more

After Toby was diagnosed with Renal Problems, Vet recommended the dry food and canned food. We were given some trial sizes of 3 different flavors and Toby chose Support A. The other flavors didn't interest him. So we ordered "A". He had been rather lethargic about several other dry foods he used to eat so we selected "A" which was described as Aromatic! His appetite for dry food increased and he seems satisfied tending to nibble off and on through the day.
